The W Trek hike in Patagonia, Chile
Nov 1 · 17 min read
I flew down to Puerto Natales from Santiago in Chile to volunteer at a Bed & Breakfast with the plan to end my trip hiking through the Torres del Paine National Park. My host and I saw a perfect window in the weather for exactly 5 days. She suggested I pack up and go — her pros:
- It is pre-season so the tracks will be relatively empty
- The weather is clear
- I will be able to help our customers with the knowledge I attain
